FACTORY AUTOMATION Sensor systems 2

AS-Interface
Edition 2005/2006
AS-Interface - References
AS-Interface has made a breakthrough on a wide front in automotive tech-
nology. And the examples given below of typical applications illustrate how
AS-Interface is also employed by well-known manufacturers in many other
branches of industry.

Automotive industry:
The floor and overhead suspended conveyor system in the new Rüssels-
heim plant of OPEL AG has been completely automated using AS-Inter-
face. Over one hundred AS-Interface gateways and over one thousand AS-
Interface modules are used to process the signals from several thousand
sensors and encoders. A remarkable feature of this plant is the through-
going production line without buffer systems, requiring the AS-Interface net-
work to be constructed in segments, using sliding contacts. The overall
length of this system is well over one kilometre. The transfer and assign-
ment functions via the sliding contacts demonstrate once again the robust-
ness and reliability of AS-Interface.

Chemical and process technology:

Paint manufacture and the subsequent filling of the products is the core
business of the Herberts Lacke Company. The demands of the automated
production plant concept include the provision of safeguards in the poten-
tially explosive areas. AS-Interface modules with ATEX approval for Zone 1
are daily proving their value in these critical applications.

Storage and mechanical handling:

Plant sections involving logic networks are simply controlled via AS-Inter-
face. Thanks to the comprehensive diagnostic functions, problems can be
quickly and precisely located, even in extensive systems, leading to the re-
duction of downtime and rationalisation of plant servicing.
These attributes prompted Viastore Systems GmbH to select AS-Interface
in numerous high-bay racking stores projects. In another application in
2003, Roche Diagnostik collaborated with Aberle Steuerungstechnik GmbH
in pallet and container handling technology featuring AS-Interface.

Plant construction:
As a renowned constructor of filling plant, Krones has for some time suc-
cessfully incorporated the AS-Interface concept into its projects. This has
allowed decentralised plant components to be controlled on a modular ba-
sis and networked together with ease. Here, high quality, long life and great
flexibility are the attractive AS-Interface features.

Food and beverage industry:

In breweries - and as here, in the dispensing of drinks - Feige GmbH uses
AS-Interface to control flows via the open/close operation of valves. Well-

proven solutions are available for the open structure, as are pcb solutions
for box installation and also integrated solutions for solenoid valves.

Component manufacture:
In order to reduce the amount of cabling required and to provide adequate
flexibility for alternating production lines, AS-Interface is frequently em-
ployed to control the handling sequences, as illustrated here on an SMD as-
sembly plant. As a rule the Emergency-Stop buttons are also integrated into
the AS-Interface Safety at Work concept, so as to avoid dual cabling.

1 Introduction
1.1 What is AS-Interface?
The Actuator-Sensor Interface (AS-Interface) is the replacement for con-
ventional wiring technology on the sensor-actuator level.
AS-Interface ensures secure, extremely EMC resistant data transmission,
minimises installation time and costs, includes a diagnostic function and de-
tects short circuits and other conditions, reduces maintenance costs, ena-
bles the simple decentralisation of control processes, increases the trans-
parency of a system, makes any kind of upgrade particularly simple and
flexible, and guarantees high availability.
AS-Interface is not a proprietary system, but rather an open standard which
is available on the market from many manufacturers in a wide range of ver-
sions.

1.2 The decisive advantages of AS-Interface

The Actuator-Sensor-Interface (AS-Interface) is optimised for the reliable
transfer of small volumes of data under harsh industrial conditions and for
economic reasons it has become the tried and tested standard for the net-

working of sensors and actuators in many applications.

In conventional wiring two cores per sensor and actuator are typically re-
quired for the power supply and a further core for the signal or control cable.
The power supply, for example, can be laid in parallel via splitter boxes, but
the input and output signals must be looped via distribution devices and laid
to PLC cards. This leads to high costs for the method of connection/distri-
bution, involves much time on installation and, in addition, the wiring must
be documented in detail.

AS-Interface - Introduction
In comparison, AS-Interface offers the following advantag-
es:
• Two-core cable for data and power transfer to all devices.
• Connection using the insulation penetration technique for I/O stations
saves time, since the operations involving the stripping of insulation and
the application of cable sleeves are eliminated.
• In the PLCs the I/O assemblies are replaced by the AS-Interface master
and the assignment is no longer carried out by fixed addressing of the I/O
cards, but by free assignment via the master.
• Diagnostic options via the AS-Interface enable faults to be quickly elimi-
nated and down time reduced.
• Ground faults and duplicate addressing can be detected and displayed.
• If "intelligent" sensors are employed, the display of stability control, re-
mote parameter assignment, mode of operation reversal and standby in-
dication functions can be used. The function diagnosis can decisively
increase plant availability.
• By using AS-Interface masters with integrated PLC functionality, control
processes can be stored as programs in the master and self-standing
PLCs can be dispensed with completely. This allows response times of
only a few milliseconds to be achieved.
• Due to the reduced requirement for wiring, less cable ducting is required.
• Costs are also reduced because of the space saved in the control cabinet
due to the elimination of I/O assemblies.
• The free topology makes system planning and installation particularly
simple, so that it can be extended at any time.

missioning and maintenance.

By using interface modules up to 248 binary sensors and 186 binary actu-
ators can be operated on a single AS-Interface network. The following lim-
iting values apply to a fully implemented system for both AS-Interface spec-
ifications:
• Master/Gateway - Specification 2.0:
max. 124 binary sensors and 124 binary actuators.
• Master/Gateway - Specification 2.1:
max. 248 binary sensors and 186 binary actuators.

Network hierarchy and topology

Master AS-Interface is designed for the lowest level of the automation hierarchy
and offers a simple, safe and fast transfer at an optimum cost/effectiveness
ratio. The system topology can take the form of a line, star, tree, or ring
structure. For information which is not time-critical and for the achievement
of longer transfer paths, AS-Interface can be connected via gateways to
higher level systems such as PROFIBUS, InterBus, EtherNet TCP/IP, De-
Master
viceNet, Modbus, Modbus+, CCLink, CANopen, etc. AS-Interface masters
with serial RS 232 interfaces and integrated PLC functionality provide a dis-
tributed stand-alone solution. In this way the control system is unloaded
and, in addition, cycle times of, for example, 2 ms are achieveable when the
AS-Interface network is not fully populated. This solution is directly aligned
with the trend towards the decentralised construction of control units. The
advantages are:
Master

• simpler and faster expansion possibilities and also the commissioning of

sub-domains,
• shorter cable connections and less data communication on the higher-
level field bus,
• reduction of down time due to the autonomously operating sub-domains
and
• shorter and clearer programs.

AS-Interface - Introduction
1.3 Components in the AS-Interface system
Products from Pepperl+Fuchs are certified by independent AS-Interface
testing authorities. This ensures that the products satisfy the AS-Interface
specification and can be operated without problem in a system together with
other certificated AS-Interface products, including those from other manu-
facturers. This is indicated by the shadowed logo on the data sheets.

Masters and Gateways

The core of the AS-Interface system is the Master (serial connection via
RS 232) and the Gateway (master with an interface to the commonly used
field buses). Earlier programming by PC or PLC can continue to be utilised,
for example, with an S7-400 with a standard I/O data range, since AS-Inter-
face behaves as an I/O card. The devices control and monitor the data ex-
K5 change with the modules and AS-Interface sensors/actuators on the Mas-
ter-Slave principle. However, as seen from the field bus, the gateway be-
haves as a slave or station node, with typically more than 32 bytes of in-
put/output data and also with additional analogue channels and manage-
ment channels.
Master/Gateways are available in the form of plug-in cards for a PC, as con-
trol cabinet devices and as field devices. The masters/gateways include a
PCI
diagnostic function with the following monitoring functions:
• Configuration errors: Deviation between existing slaves and configured
addresses,
• Peripheral faults: Loss of function of one or more slaves,
• Communication faults: Incorrect transfer of several messages,
• Detection and display of duplicate addressing and ground faults (on K20
series),
• Safety diagnosis: Separate presentation of the safe slaves and display of
K20 the diagnostic function of the monitor.
AS-Interface power packs (2 A to 8 A, with 30.5 V and data decoupling)
are used for the power supply. Repeaters and Power Extenders allow the
power supply to be decentralised and cable length to be extended to over
100 m. The repeater galvanically isolates the primary and secondary sides,
in order to provide a reduced probability of failure in the case of a short cir-
cuit. A number of repeaters can be operated in a star formation, their
G4 number being limited only by the input resistance at the AS-Interface. How-
ever, it is only possible to operate a maximum of 2 repeaters in series. To-
gether with the repeater, an AS-Interface power supply is required for the
power supply of the other AS-Interface circuit.

VariKont L
RL28 Modules
Modules are AS-Interface stations to which standard sensors/actuators can
be connected. AS-Interface modules are available as a control cabinet so-
lution and as field modules with protection to IP67. Analogue values with up
to 16 bits can be automatically transferred to the higher level field bus via
G6 analogue modules within a max. of 35 ms.
The control cabinet modules in the KF and KF2 series are 20 mm or
40 mm (4EA modules) wide and offer plug-in terminals as well as power rail
connections for fast, simple installation in the control cabinet. These KF
modules are only available as standard slaves in specification 2.0. The
newer version in the KE series is available as an A/B slave according to
specification 2.1.
The terminal housing module in the K3 series is flat (39 mm) and thus tai-
lored to terminal housing requirements. The outputs are supplied externally
G2 and 3-wire sensors can also be connected. The KE1 series, which is only
50 mm high and 22.5 mm wide, offers connections for up to 4 two-wire in-
puts and 2 externally-supplied electronic outputs.
In the case of the field modules the G2 series is available with a plug-in
connection via M12, the G6 series with a plug-in connection via M8 and the
G4 series with cable gland and cage-clamp terminals in different housing
sizes.
Connection of the G2 modules is achieved directly by attaching the flat AS-
Interface cable in the respective base portion. In the G4 series it is possible
to make the AS-Interface connection via round cable. Series G6 is connect-
ed via a 4-pin M12 plug connector 4 (AS-Interface and 24 V auxiliary pow-
G4 er).
Analogue modules for switching cabinet and field use transmit analogue
input and output values for current and voltage as well as the analogue val-
ues from PT100 thermocouples without additional programming. In this
case it is necessary to use a master/gateway to Specification 2.1.
G5 series modules are in the device category (1)2G and are therefore ap-
proved for hazardous areas in Zone 1 in accordance with ATEX. The AS-
Interface cable is therefore installed in increased safety and the connection
is carried out in accordance with EN 50019. The module electronics are en-
capsulated and intrinsically safe inputs and outputs are available. NAMUR
G5 sensors in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60947-5-6 (DIN 19234,
NAMUR) can be connected to the inputs.
Issue date 2004-11-19 - Catalogue AS-Interface 2004/2005

Safe modules are available in the G4, G2 and KE1 versions for field and
junction box or control cabinets. The devices are TÜV-certified according to
EN 954-1 and IEC 61508.
Further information can be found in the chapters on the modules.

AS-Interface - Introduction
AS-Interface - Safety at Work
- for safety-relevant applications
Safety-relevant components, such as emergency-stop buttons, safety light
grids and safety door locking mechanisms, can be integrated, based on the
identical technology and protocol. This only requires the installation of a
safety monitor and safe slaves in the network. Mixed operation of safe
and non-safe AS-Interface slaves is possible without problem. The monitor
has the function of monitoring the data communication on the AS-Interface
cable.
The safe slaves are used to transfer dynamic code sequences (8 x 4 bit da-
ta sequence), which are stored in each slave. These are "learned" during
the installation of the monitor. During operation, the monitor compares the
target and actual sequences on each cycle. If the alarm code "0000“ is
transmitted or a departure from the set sequence is established (e. g. due
to the failure of a device or a communication fault), the safety monitor
switches off safely within 40 ms. Switch-on again takes 100 ms. Up to two
shut-off circuits can be implemented per monitor.
The available slaves are safe field and control cabinet modules and an
Emergency-Stop button with an integrated AS-Interface chip.
Bus communication and the data protocol have been evaluated as safe by
the BIA and the technology has been certified by TÜV. According to
EN 954-1, the maximum safety category 4 is reached, and can be used for
stop category 0 (immediate power-off) and 1 (controlled power-off). In ac-
cordance with IEC 61508 approval, up to SIL 3 can be attained.

Hand-held and Software Tools

AS-Interface slaves from Pepperl+Fuchs are usually addressed using a
VBP-HH1 hand-held programming device over an addressing connector.
With the hand-held device, the following can be performed very quickly and
simply on-site:
• Isolation of the AS-Interface slave from the AS-Interface network,
• power supply of the AS-Interface via the hand-held device,
Issue date 2004-11-19 - Catalogue AS-Interface 2004/2005

VBP-HH1 • address assignment for the AS-Interface slave,

• setting of outputs for function testing, even without PLC.
Separate disconnection of the master in the control cabinet or modification
of the AS-Interface power supply is not necessary.
With the hand-held, an entire AS-Interface network can also be addressed
through the AS-Interface cable if the master is inactive.
Easy-to-use software tools are available for system parameter assignment
using a PC. The AS-Interface control tools render parameter assignment a
very simple procedure and the ASIMON software is used to assign param-
Software
eters to the safety-related components.

AS-Interface - Introduction
AS-Interface installation
If AS-Interface modules are used in the control cabinet or junction boxes,
connection via power rail is particularly advantageous.
Flat cable
When using AS-Interface in the field, the greatest advantages are realised
when flat cable is used. However, a 2-core, unscreened standard round ca-
ble with 1.5 mm2 cross section (for example, H05VV-F2x1,5) can be used.
Flat cable Due to the form of the flat cable, polarity reversal is impossible, and using
insulation penetration connection, slaves can be connected in seconds. For
this purpose, the flat cable is laid in two cable trays in the lower part of the
module and the upper part of the module is then positioned on it and
screwed down. This ensures both strain relief and also a secure contact via
two contact blades per core.
A 24 V auxiliary power supply is necessary only for very high-powered ac-
tuators, and can be supplied via a black flat cable which is laid parallel to
the yellow AS-Interface flat cable.
Installation
The AS-Interface cable is symmetrical, that is, neither of the two cores may
conventional be earthed. A branch can be made at any point (arbitrary topology), on the
end of which no termination resistor is necessary.
The total length of the AS-Interface network can be extended from 100 m
by an additional 100 m using repeaters.
Power supply is generally incorporated using the AS-Interface power at any
point in the AS-Interface network. For slaves with particularly large power
requirements, it makes sense to put the power supply nearby, to keep the
voltage drop low. An optional 24 V auxiliary power supply may be necessary
when using high-powered actuators, in order to be able to drive these via
the electronic outputs.
AS-Interface masters/gateways are supplied with 24 V directly or from the
AS-Interface.
Commissioning can be performed directly at the master/gateway using
function keys and the graphical display, a PC or PLC are not required.
The attachment of a new slave is "plug and play": Connection, "teach-in" on
the master, done. The addressing of the same type of slave is automatic af-
ter an exchange. Slaves can be connected or disconnected while the net-
work is in use.
The connection of sensors and actuators to the interface module is complet-
AS-Interface ed using plug connectors, screw terminals, or cage-clamp terminals. Inputs,
that is, sensors or mechanical contacts, can be supplied with power from
the AS-Interface.
Pepperl+Fuchs offers a wide variety of connection accessories for simple
installation (for instance, cable gland in M12 or terminals, screw adaptors
for housing installation) and of course various types of AS-Interface flat ca-
ble. A tool for the quick stripping of flat cable is also available.

AS-Interface - Introduction
Power Rail
For the control cabinet, there are either distributor terminals as sub-distrib-
utors to the control cabinet modules, power supply, and master, or alterna-
tively the use of units with integrated Power Rail connections. There are two
different types of Power Rail: PR-05 and UPR-05.
In the PR-05, there is a 50 cm long inset component in the 35 mm tophat
rail per EN 50022. The PR-05 has a 20 mm mounting grid and can be short-
ened in 40 mm increments. The PR-05 can be extended using appropriate
adaptors (VE-PR).
The UPR-05 is a gridless Universal Power Rail, which is supplied in lengths
of 2 m and can be shortened at any point. Included in the delivery package,
besides the rail itself, are the C-rail, a cover plate for mechanical and elec-
trical protection of the inset component, and 2 end caps. If the modules are
vertically mounted, an end terminal (for instance TS35 type 2) should be
used to prevent the module from slipping down.

PR-05 UPR-05

The operating principle of both types of Power Rail is the same. Five con-
ductors are integrated into the insert component, of which two are used for
the transmission of the AS-Interface signal. If a module or the master/gate-
way is connected to the AS-Interface line, this node applies the AS-Inter-
face signal to the Power Rail conductors. All other modules are then con-
nected to the AS-Interface line by snapping them onto the tophat rail. Mod-
ules are snapped onto the rail vertically from above.

Functional description of the

AS-Interface specification 2.1
With the AS-Interface specification 2.1, which was defined in 1999 by the
AS-Interface Association as a backwards-compatible extension retaining
the protocol and physical parameters, significant advantages for the user
were introduced:
• Number of nodes increased from 31 standard slaves to
62 A/B slaves,
• enhanced diagnostic function with peripheral error bit,
• simple analogue value transmission with internal data handling,
• extension of the ID codes of the nodes.
Devices in accordance with specification 2.1 are denoted on data sheets
with this symbol.
62
Spec 2.1 62 nodes on AS-Interface network
To take advantage of these possibilities, a VB... Master/Gateway is needed.
Standard slaves (as in specification 2.0), thanks to backwards compatibility,
can still be connected to a new master using specification 2.1. However,
two of the 62 possible addresses are occupied by one standard slave. The
use of A/B Slaves on an "old" master is possible, by always setting the se-
lect bit to logical "0". Despite this, we don't recommend it, since a change to
this bit will change the address, and it may thus be impossible to talk to the
slave due to such a configuration error.
The master message is almost unchanged in the specification 2.1. The only
change is that the select bit "SEL" is transmitted in what used to be the
fourth output bit "I3", which in addition to the address bits A0 ... A4 enables
the extended A/B addressing.
Each address can therefore be split into A and B addresses, i.e. in address-
es 15A and 15B.
Since the fourth output bit is now used as an additional address bit, only 3
output bits per slave can now be transmitted, that is, per AS-Interface net-
work 3* 62 = 186 output bits are set. The slave response remains un-
changed, and there are now 4 * 62 = 248 bits of input data available.
Standard slaves can easily be used with a "new" VB... master, however, the
following changes apply:
• A standard slave occupies both A and B addresses and thus reduces the
maximum number of nodes by one.
• Standard slaves on a "new" VB... master/gateway are recognised using
Issue date 2004-11-19 - Catalogue AS-Interface 2004/2005

the identification code (ID code) and can still have 4 output data bits.
Analogue modules and safe modules occupy a full address, even if these
devices are designed to specification 2.1. This allows the response time of
these modules to be kept to a minimum.

AS-Interface - Introduction
Diagnostic function with peripheral error
Besides communications disturbances (i.e. erroneous messages), the mas-
ter can also detect hardware errors which occur on the slave. These periph-
FAULT eral error messages can be used to power down systems in case of error,
since sensor signals may no longer be safely available. It is also possible
simply to evaluate stored data statistically in the master under "LFS" (list of
faulted slaves), in order to evaluate system safety. A red LED display is lo-
PWR cated on the slave. This simplifies the location and correction of errors. An
extended diagnostic also makes it possible to locate even sporadically oc-
curring problems with configuration and communications and evaluate
them with the AS-i Control Tools. This information can be processed in the
PLC using the command interface and for instance then displayed in clear
text to the operator on a remote display.

Analogue transmission
The AS-Interface protocol allows the transmission of 4 bits in one cycle.
A With the analogue profile S7.3, seven messages can be collected in the
D master within only 35 ms, and output as a 16-bit analogue value. This was
Spec 2.1 only possible using an application program in specification 2.0. The output
of analogue control values as 0 V ... 10 V or 4 mA ... 20 mA signals is pos-
sible.

Extension of ID codes:
A/B slaves have ID codes = Ahex, while standard slaves have a different ID
code of Ahex. So as to distinguish the different profiles (types of slave), two
further identification codes were introduced, the ID1 code and the ID2 code.
The IO code and the ID2 code describe the profile of the A/B slaves com-
pletely and are permanently stored in the slave.

Transfer rate and cycle time

The bit transmission rate of the AS-Interface is about 167 kBaud, in order
to make the system very resistant to cable reflexions and errors even with
complex topologies, while still eliminating the need for termination resistors.
The cycle time is, however, a deciding factor for small quantities of data.
When fully loaded, masters on specification 2.0 (31 slaves or 124 binary
sensors + 124 binary actuators) have a maximum cycle time of 5 ms, and
masters on specification 2.1 in extended mode (62 slaves, or 248 binary
sensors + 186 binary actuators) have a maximum cycle time of 10 ms. The
cycle time can be shortened by reducing the number of nodes or by ad-
dressing A/B slaves in standard mode. Every unoccupied slave address
saves 150 µs. This makes the AS-Interface one of the fastest bus systems.
In a mixed system with standard slaves and A/B slaves, standard slaves are
interrogated on each cycle and A/B slaves every other cycle. On the nth cy-
Issue date 2004-11-19 - Catalogue AS-Interface 2004/2005

cle, all A slaves are addressed, and on the n+1-th cycle, all the B slaves.
The master can use the configuration to detect which addresses are unoc-
cupied and doesn't interrogate these at all. If only one (either A or B) ad-
dress is assigned to an A/B slave on the AS-Interface network, then these
slaves are interrogated on every cycle. The frequency of interrogation can
be increased in this way.

Master call SB CB A4 A3 A2 A1 A0 I4 SEL I2 I1 I0 PB EB

• 1 start bit (SB, always "0")

• 1 control bit (CB)
• 5 address bits (A0 ... A4) plus SEL bit for A/B address for expansion to 62
slaves
• 5 data bits (I0, I1, I2, I4)
• 1 parity bit (PB)
• 1 end bit (EB, always "1")

The AS-Interface master uses the control bit to tell the slave whether this
message is a command (i.e. read I/O configuration, read ID code, etc.) or a
data or parameter call.
Together with the SEL bit, the 5 address bits denote the slave being ad-
dressed. With 5+1 Bits, 64 nodes can be addressed. Address 0 must al-
ways be unoccupied, since it is used for automatic addressing after an ex-
change. Thus up to 62 slaves can be addressed.
In a data or parameter call (CB = "0"), the I4 bit is used to distinguish be-
tween
I4 = "0" ==> parameter call
I4 = "1" ==> data call
.
The bits I0 ... I2 contain the output data, by which up to 3 outputs can be
controlled or 3 parameter bits transmitted. The entire message is secured
with a parity bit and is concluded with an end bit. In specification 2.0 (stand-
ard mode) the I3 bit was available as a fourth output bit, which is now used
as select bit (SEL) when extended-mode addressing is in operation. If
slaves built to specification 2.1 can be operated in standard mode, the I3 bit
can also be used as an output bit.
In the slave response, besides the 4 bits of input data, only the start bit (SB),
the parity bit (PB), and the end bit (EB) are transmitted.

The master cyclically interrogates the unique addresses (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B,
3A...31A, 31B) of all slaves in turn in a polling process. The addresses in
use are stored in the master's configuration. It only queries these existing
addresses, which shortens the cycle time correspondingly.

Does the system size fit?

STEP 1 The number of inputs and outputs needed must fit the number of AS-Inter-
face networks. With a full load of 62 4E3A modules, 248 inputs and 186 out-
puts within an AS-Interface network are possible. If, however, due to local
system layout, not all the input or outputs on a slave are used, or if analogue
modules or standard slaves are connected, the number of addresses is re-
duced, since these slaves "use up" an entire address. If safety-related com-
ponents are integrated, these must be connected to safe slaves, which also
require an entire address. If the diagnostics of the safety monitor need to be
interrogated at the master, then the monitor must also be assigned a full ad-
dress. In time-critical applications, the B address can be left free, so that the
A-addressed slave can be interrogated on every cycle, this allows a cycle
time < 5 ms (instead of < 10 ms) even at full load. These rules influence the
possible number of total inputs and outputs.
If the number of nodes on one AS-Interface network is insufficient, then a
double master can also be used to drive two AS-Interface networks. Mas-
ters/gateways installed in parallel in the control cabinet can also enable sim-
ple fulfilment of the required system size. If signals from one AS-Interface
network need to be transferred to a second one, data coupler modules can
be used, which transfer 4 bits at a time from one network to the other.
In extensive installations, line lengths of over 100m (this includes spur lines
to intelligent sensors) may be necessary. By using repeaters (maximum of
2 in series), the length of the line can be extended to up to 300 m from the
master. One or two additional power supplies (or power extenders) will be
necessary. A network with star topology, with more repeaters, can attain
very large overall line lengths. The topology of the network is arbitrary: Star,
tree, line, spur lines, or other.

Specifying the power supply

STEP 2 The power supply needed can be derived from the power consumption of
the individual devices. The following typical values can be used:
• Current consumption by the master: approx. 200 mA
• Per AS-Interface module: approx. 30 mA … 80 mA
(depending on type)
• Per sensor input: approx. 5 mA
• Per sensor: ca. 10 mA … 80 mA (depending
on type)
(inductive typically 10 mA,
optical typically 35 mA)
Issue date 2004-11-19 - Catalogue AS-Interface 2004/2005

• Per analogue module: approx. 80 mA

• Per safety monitor (1/2 channel): 150/200 mA
This makes it possible to estimate whether a 2.8 A, a 4 A or an 8 A AS-In-
terface power supply will be necessary. Exact power consumption data can
be found in the corresponding data sheets.
If a 24 V auxiliary power supply is also necessary, the power consumptions
must also be totalled for it, and a corresponding 24 V power supply select-
ed.

AS-Interface - Introduction
Address configuration of slaves and wiring

STEP 3 It is possible to configure the addressing of slaves at your desk or work-

bench using the VBP-HH1 hand-held device, label them, and then install in
the planned locations. This has the advantage, that the addressing and la-
beling can be performed rationally. However, it is then very important to
take care to match addresses to functions during installation. This proce-
dure is generally to be recommended.
If modules are first installed and then connected by flat cable to the AS-In-
terface line, addressing and labeling must be performed with the hand-held
device in a second step, since all slaves have address 0 as delivered. It is
important to ensure that no addresses are duplicated.
The addressing of intelligent sensors with integrated AS-Interface chips can
easily be performed by plugging the sensors into the hand-held device. Ap-
propriate contact pins are integrated for M12, VariKont M and VariKont de-
signs. Modules with addressing jacks are connected via a connector cable.
The slave is thus disconnected from the network and other modules and
can only be accessed through the hand-held device.
The hand-held device can also be used for reassigning addresses on the
AS-Interface network. The master must simply be disconnected from the
network and the hand-held device connected to the yellow AS-Interface ca-
ble. All nodes on the network can then be addressed selectively. There is
the additional possibility of performing addressing directly on the master us-
ing the display, or using the AS-i Control Tools software.
After all modules have been addressed and connected, the AS-Interface flat
cable is connected to the AS-Interface power supply, and the 24 V auxiliary
power supply optionally connected. The master and any other control cab-
inet modules should be wired in parallel. Adaptors from flat cable to flexible
leads, or Power Rail technology, may be used to do this.
Neither the AS-Interface positive or negative may be earthed at any point!
Only the earth connection of the power supply may be connected to earth.
To ensure correct earthing, we offer power supplies and gateways with
earth monitoring functions.

Configuration of masters/gateways

STEP 4 Finally, it must be defined in the master/gateway which nodes are connect-
ed to the AS-Interface network. This is done by pressing the MODE button
on the front of the gateway for about 5 seconds (switching into configuration
mode) and then pressing the MODE button again (switches back to protect-
ed operating mode). Alternatively, on masters with graphical displays, the
"Quick setup" menu can be called up for configuration. After successful con-
figuration of the master/gateway, the red "Config. Error" LED will be turned
off.

AS-Interface - Introduction

2 Masters and Gateways

Masters and
Gateways
The AS-lnterface Masters / Gateways are the core components of an AS-
Interface system. These devices perform a cyclic interrogation of the slaves
via a polling procedure and represent the link to the higher level system in
the form of a decentrally operating, flexible and fast control unit. The devic-

Extender, Repeaters
Power Supplies,
es are also available with a control function (Integrated PLC with inputs, out-
puts, timers, and counters) for autonomous operation.
Masters are available in various versions and construction types, for exam-
ple with a large graphics display for on-site diagnosis. These cover not only
peripheral faults, even statistical faults can be evaluated via an internal fault
counter and used for trouble-shooting if necessary.

Safety at work
Of course, all data can also be transferred via the field bus interface for con-
trol purposes.
Addressing and parameter assignment (On initial installation, for example)
can take place directly on the master/gateway. There are also commission-

Control cabinet
ing tools available, for instance the AS-i Control Tools software, VAZ-SW-

I/O Modules
ACT32. This software package allows simple, quick, and easy commission-
ing of the AS-Interface network via the serial interface of a PC.
Various interfaces are available for connecting the higher level control sys-
tem:

Field application
I/O Modules
• Serial interface (RS 232)
• PCI bus for direct connection to a PC
• Field bus interface with the gateways (For all current field bus systems,
e. g. PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet, INTERBUS, etc.)

Analogue modules
A gateway consists of two parts:
• The AS-Interface master (e. g. to AS-Interface specification V2.1) for
management of the AS-Interface network.
• The interface to the higher level field bus system (e. g. as PROFIBUS
slave) for transfer of the data to the control system.

Other modules
For field applications Pepperl+Fuchs can supply masters/gateways in
protection class IP67 in the G4 housing. These devices are ideal for decen-
tralisation with AS-Interface, since the devices can be installed close to the
application. The restriction to 100 m of cable is of no great consequence
and the large distances can be bridged using the higher level field bus sys-

tem.
The unified menu structure and philosophy of the masters/gateways simpli-
fies operation despite a large number of devices.
Master/Gateways designed to specification 2.1 have the type codes VBM...
oder VBG..., while devices designed to specification 2.0 have the codes

Devices with codes VBG-...-D oder VBG-...-DMD are equipped with a large

ter is integrated in the PCI slot of the PC.

2.2 Gateways
Field application
I/O Modules

The gateway places the data at the disposal of the higher-level field bus
Host (PROFIBUS, INTERBUS, DeviceNet, EtherNet, Modbus, Modbus+, CAN,
Fieldbus
CC-Link, ...), in the requisite format. If devices with control functionality are
F
used (see selection table), a preprocessing of AS-Interface data can be per-
formed, just as with masters, so that sensors and actuators on the same

Gateway
AS-Interface
AS-Interface network can be directly connected with one another via the
control functionality. This makes it necessary to transmit only a little data for
display in the higher-level bus system. This reduces the system load on the
higher level bus system and hence increases performance. The pre-
processing also reduces the memory requirement and the processing time,
which in turn decreases the cycle time.
Other modules

Here, too, there are gateways available for the switch cabinet (KF, K20, or
K5) and for field application (G4).

2.3 Programming with AS-i Control Tools

This software is based on Windows (95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP). After a
serial connection has been prepared for the master an easy to follow con-
figuration assistant guides you through all the further steps required and
provides help text support. The AS-Interface network is displayed graphical-

To increase system safety an earth fault monitor function is integrated in

4 AS-Interface - Safety at work

Masters and
Gateways
The rubric of "AS-Interface Safety at Work" includes safe communications
based on AS-Interface. This system has been the industry standard for net-
working of sensors and actuators for years. The safety concept lowers in-
stallation costs for intrinsically safe components while adhering to current

safety regulations.
Typical danger spots are, for example, manually operated feed systems, in
which process availability and safety-oriented aspects compete. Short reac-
tion times are important, so that the switching-off of equipment occurs
quickly and minimal safety distances and margins are not exceeded.

Safety at work
The following functions are frequently required to limit the inherent dangers
to the minimum possible:
• EMERGENCY-STOP: For manual switch-off in the event of a fault
• Restart inhibit: For safety during and following a fault

Control cabinet
• Repair and maintenance: Safe access

I/O Modules
• Moveable protective systems: Monitor functional integrity
• Setup: Operating functionality and flexibility during re-tooling and process
sequences

Field application
• Safe operation: Minimising the risks during normal operation

I/O Modules
• Controlled restart: Achieved, for example, by the use of key-operated
switches after the cancellation of the restart inhibit
• Muting function: e. g. for feeding material, with by-pass of the safety func-
tion for a specified short period of time

Analogue modules
• Indicating via signal lamps: e.g. with activated muting function with in-
creased risk potential
• Access protection (e. g. Safety light barriers with a beam separation of
500 mm in accordance with EN 999)

Other modules
• Intervention protection (e. g. safety light grids with a beam separation of
25 mm)
• Finger protection (e. g. safety light curtain with a beam separation of
14 mm)
In these applications EN 954-1 "Safety of machines, safety-related parts of

Inductive sensors
controls (Categories 1 to 4)", EN 60204-1 "Safety of machines, electrical
equipment" and IEC 61508 "Functional Safety of electronic systems (Clas-
sified, for example, in terms of the probability of failure of the safety
system)" must be adhered to. The weakest link in the chain determines the
safety of the overall system.
Current solutions are often contrived, such that conventional sensors and

actuators are installed using parallel wiring, in order to facilitate fault detec-
tion and fault rectification. AS-Interface Safety at Work sets new standards
here in terms of flexibility, diagnostic cabability and simplicity of installation.

No special cabling or control units are required to take advantage of the

benefits of the system. Intrinsically safe devices can be added to any exist-

4.2 The advantages

Field application

In systems with safety-relevant processes, the yellow cable wiring harness-

I/O Modules

es required for conventional safety systems, are frequently in evidence.

There are cost savings here, for instance, in the wiring. Moreover, any kind
of modification of the system is extremely costly in terms of both time and
money.
Analogue modules

With the AS-Interface Safety at Work concept, an unshielded two-wire cable

is used. Extensions can be made at any point, simply and easily.
The AS-Interface flat cable guards against reverse polarity and the insula-
tion penetration connection technique facilitates fast installation. And it is
even possible to transfer safe and non-safe signals on one cable. Wherever
AS-Interface has already been installed safety-related components can
Other modules

simply be added to the system. Since the costs of installation often amount
to more than 40% of total plant costs, there is a tremendous savings poten-
tial here. But the potential for savings doesn't stop there. Take the control
cabinet, for example. No additional control units are required in the control
cabinet - once again leading to savings in equipment costs and space.
Inductive sensors

In the case of an Emergency-stop action the location from which this pre-
caution was initiated is immediately known. Then additional information on
the cause of the incident can be communicated and presented.
All these features establish the AS-Interface Safety at Work system as the
most cost-effective alternative for any field bus installation for standard ap-
plications.

4.3 Safety monitor

Masters and
Gateways
The safety monitor has the task of monitoring the safe slaves to ensure their
fault-free function during normal operation and maintaining a safe condition
via positive-action relays in the event of a fault. To this end the safety mon-
itor "listens to" the AS-Interface communication. All the slaves are called up

Extender, Repeaters
by the master on every cycle. In addition to the input status of each of the

Power Supplies,
connected sensors/contacts the signal response of the safe slaves contains
a 4-bit safety code, which is continuously varied on each query according to
a stored, fixed algorithm. If this 4-bit code is not modified as expected a fault
condition is detected and the system is safely shut down. In this case the
code "0000" is transmitted and results in a switch-off in no more than
40 msec (max. cycle time including repetition and processing time). The

Safety at work
safety monitor requires no address, but it does allow an address to be as-
signed for communication with the master, so that all diagnostic information
is also available to the master.
The configuration of the initiation circuits is carried out by the ASIMON con-
figuration software, which enables the logic operations to be defined. Either

terface is used to assign safe inputs for shut-off circuits and monitor mod-
ules, to establish emergency-off or safety light grid functions, for example,
the assignment for the start modules as well as the selection of the output
modules (Stop category 0 or 1). The options are wide ranging, so that the
settings are suitable for almost all applications.
Analogue modules

System documentation for the safe components is supported, in that the

configuration can be stored and also printed out. The creation of a copy of
the configuration for other safety monitors is also possible. The following
steps are required to generate a configuration:
• Start the program and the "Start Assistant"
Other modules

• Select diagnostic function

• Establish configuration: Title, dependencies, slave addresses, assign-
ment of the slave to a module, complete AND/OR coupling module, deter-
mine stop category, define delay time.
• Assign an AS-Interface address for the safety monitor (Optional)
Inductive sensors

If a configuration already exists, this can be loaded and amended.

The assignment of modules from a symbol library to the two release circuits
takes place interactively by drag-and-drop.
When a configuration has been devised and checked it can be transferred
to the safety monitor and the code sequence of the safe slaves to be moni-

tored can be taught in. The configuration protocol must then be checked

and enabled. The last step is to switch over the safety monitor from the con-

The KF series, with only a 20 mm widht, provides 4 short-circuit protected

inputs, or with a 40 mm width, 4 short-circuit protected inputs and 4 short-

to set whether the outputs should then be powered down within 80 ms.
Connection is performed using pluggable coded terminal blocks, guaran-
teeing fast and error-free exchanges. The terminals can also be connected
under power. The maximum allowable wire size is 2.5 mm2.
The KF modules can simply be popped onto the 35 mm DIN rail (as per EN
Safety at work

50022) in the switch cabinet and connected via Power Rail, so that, for in-
stance, only the master in the KF housing must be wired to the AS-Interface
flat cable. To do this, either the inset component PR-05 in 0.5 m lengths for
the DIN rail is required, or UPR-05 continuous complete rails including DIN
rail (2 m lengths, may be cut) can be used.

In the KF housing there is also a data coupler available which can transmit
4 bits of data from one AS-Interface network to a second network.

Alternatively, modules of the KE series can be used in the switch cabinet.

In this type, up to 4 inputs and 3 outputs are provided in only 22.5 mm width.

up to 4 inputs and 2 outputs in only 22.5 mm of width and 50 mm of height.
Power supply is accomplished over the AS-Interface and the KE1 modules
are easy to pop onto the DIN rails. The terminals are colour-coded to pre-
vent confusion.
Inductive sensors

The somewhat taller housings of the KE2 series, with two rows of terminals,
can be used, for example, with analoguemodules in the switch cabinet.

If 3-wire sensors are attached to a junction box, or power is externally sup-

plied, the K3 series is the right solution. In a width of 71 mm and a height of
Photoelectric
sensors

only 40 mm, up to 4 inputs and 3 outputs can be connected. A version with

relay output is also available.

There are three designs available as standard field modules in protection

class IP67:
• Flat housing with M12 connector (G2 design)
Extender, Repeaters

• Field modules with cable glands (G4 design)

Power Supplies,

• Compact modules with M8 connector (G6 design)

In the G2 series with M12 connector, the cable as well as the module can
be quickly exchanged in case of failure without requiring an electrician. The
flat cable can be inserted in two directions, making cable layout simpler. An
addressing jack makes the module easy and quick to address using the
Safety at work

VBP-HH1 hand-held. Due to its small height, this series is well-suited even
when space is short.
Communications are monitored and in case of failure, the outputs can be
powered off. Devices in two sizes (4 ports/8 ports) and in PNP or NPN ver-
sions are available. Dual sensors or 4-wire sensors can be connected di-

rectly to the module with 2 signal inputs on an M12 connector. In most G2

on the housing top
modules, the inputs from pin 2 and pin 4 are bridged from two neighboring
spots for this reason. If only one signal input is to be used, however, a three-
strand connector cable should be used.
Field application
I/O Modules

The G4 series, in two sizes for the input and input/output module, already
include the cable entry glands. An already completed wiring job is thus par-
ticularly simple and cost-effective to extend.
Connection is performed using cage-clamp terminals, which require no
strand end sleeves. For connection to the AS-Interface flat cable, the
Analogue modules

U-G1F base (AS-Interface only) is required for the input modules, and the
U-G1FF base (AS-Interface plus external power supply) is required for the
input/output modules.
For address configuration, the modules can be plugged directly into the
handheld. If the U-1GFA or U-1GFFA based with addressing jacks are
Other modules

used, they can also be addressed through the base. Round cables can also
be used for the AS-Interface cable. In this case, the U-G1P or U-G1PP base
is required.
There are versions available for contact and two-wire sensors, for NAMUR
sensors as per IEC 60947-5-6, and for three-wire sensors in PNP or NPN
Inductive sensors

technologies.

The G6 series, in two sizes (4 ports/8 ports), is a good choice when space
is at a premium (robotics or handling systems). By using M8 plug connec-
tors to connect sensors, compactness and flexibility can be combined.
Photoelectric

Using the VAZ-2T5-G2 splitter box, up to five G6 compact modules can be

connected via one M12 connector cable, which is also used for address
configuration. If only a few G6 modules must be connected, this can also be
done using a VAZ-2T1-FK-1M-PUR-V1-W simple junction box.
Issue date 2004-11-19 - Catalogue AS-Interface 2004

The short circuit protected inputs supply the sensors with max. 200 mA.
Rotary encoders

Contacts or two-wire sensors can also be connected, using Pin 4 (Signal)

and Pin 3 (GND). A maximum of 0.5 A per output and 2 A per module is al-
lowable. The modules provide communication monitoring as well as a func-
tion display for the bus, external auxiliary power, and the inputs and outputs.

Using the new specification 2.1, Profile S7.3 now allows analogue values to
be transmitted just as simply and securely as binary signals without special
programming in the PLC. In max. 35 ms, analogue values for pressure, tem-

of 13 bits. The master automatically detects analogue modules and takes
over data conversion via "plug and play", without needing any configuration.
The field modules are housed in the G4 housings described earlier and are
available in these versions:
• Analogue module with 2 inputs for 0 ... 10 V,

Safety at work
• Analogue module with 2 outputs for 0 ... 10 V,
• Analogue module with 2 inputs for 0/4 ... 20 mA,
• Analogue module with 2 outputs for 0/4 ... 20 mA,

Control cabinet
• Analogue module with 4 outputs for connection of a PT100 sensor

I/O Modules
Analogue values are galvanically isolated from the AS-Interface and ana-
logue modules can be supplied with power from the AS-Interface or exter-
nally (configured by jumper). The modules include a display for bus commu-
nication, external auxiliary power, and the inputs/outputs.

I/O Modules
For the switch cabinet there is a universal analogue module with inputs for

Masters and
Gateways
In the G5 design there are Ex modules for Zone 1 of a hazardous area. The
master and power supply should either be located outside Zone 1, or
mounted in an approved Ex housing.
Wiring in Zone 1 is carried out with increased safety (EEx e). The AS-Inter-

face connection can occur over the flat cable (the VAZ-PG11-FKD cable en-
try seal is also necessary) or round cable. Up to 4 NAMUR sensors can be
connected to the sensor input.
The module ist encapsulated (EEx m) and converts the intrinsically safe
NAMUR signal (EEx i) onto the AS-Interface The field circuits conform to ig-
nition protection class Ex ia IIC. The inputs are monitored for lead breakage

and short circuits (can be disabled for connection to mechanical contacts).
A version with 4 inputs and 2 outputs is available, as well as a version with
4 outputs; both have ATEX approval.

I/O Modules
1. Usage
• I/O modules are used as measuring and control devices to transfer binary signals within
hazardous areas or from hazardous areas to non-hazardous areas.
• The data sheets of the individual devices include the electrical data for the EC Type Exam-
ination Certificate, and are considered an integral part of the operating manual.

Field application
• The inputs and outputs conform to intrinsic safety ignition protection class "i", the bus to

I/O Modules
increased safety protection class "e" and the coupling modules to protection class "encap-
sulated housing m".
• Conformance to the standards and regulations applicable to the specified or intended
usage should be ensured.
• Devices which are operated in general electrical systems must not thereafter be operated

Analogue modules
in electrical systems that are connected with areas subject to the danger of explosions.
• I/O Modules are not suitable for the isolation of signals for power engineering. The manu-
facturer data sheets should also be adhered to.

2. Commissioning, installation
(Commissioning and installation may only be performed by professionals specifically trained to
do so.)
• The coupling modules conform to protection class IP54.

Other modules
• The coupling modules are suitable for installation in zone 1 of hazardous areas.
• Intrinsically safe circuits (light blue identification on the device) may be led into hazardous
areas; in this case, particular care must be taken to ensure secure isolation from all non-
intrinsically safe circuits. Installation must be performed in accordance with applicable man-
ufacturer guidelines.
• When using intrinsically safe circuits in Dust-Ex Zone "D", only field devices certified for this

Inductive sensors
use may be connected.
• When conneting intrinsically safe field devices to the intrinsically safe circuits of the cou-
pling module, the respective peak values of the field device and I/O module with regard to
explosion protection are to be used (Proof of Intrinsic Safety). EN 60079-14/IEC 60079-14
should be observed. In the case of Germany the "National foreword" in DIN EN 60079-
14/VDE 0165 Part 1 must be observed.
• The EU certificates of conformity or EU declarations of conformity should be observed. It is
particularly important to ensure that any "Special Conditions" in these documents are
Photoelectric

adhered to.
sensors

• Installation can be performed as direct walll mounting.

Issue date 2004-11-19 - Catalogue AS-Interface 2004/2005

3. Maintenance
• The long-term stability of the device transmission functions eliminates the need for regular
adjustment or similar intervention. No other maintenance is required.
Rotary encoders

4. Fault elimination
• Devices operating in connection with hazardous areas must not be modified in any way.
Only qualified and authorised personnel are permitted to carry out device repairs.

many valves must be driven in very little space. However, this is not always
the case, and here is where decentralized control with pneumatic modules
over AS-Interface shows clear advantages: fast response times, small air

stored in the master. Due to its high IP67 protection class, this illuminated
pushbutton module can also be used in the field.
Up to 6 illuminated pushbuttons can be installed in the LT3 modules in the
F86 construction type. The 94 x 180 mm housing can be used with stand-

have M25 screwed connections, the module includes an M25 adaptor for
mounting. The engine starter is externally connectable to the AS-Interface
flat cable using an M12 connector. The engine starter provides one input

AS-Interface - Photoelectric sensors

7 Photoelectric AS-Interface Sensors

Masters and
Gateways
Photoelectric sensors play a central role today when the goal is to detect or monitor objects without touching them.
They are used wherever various objects must be positioned, classified, or counted.
The applications range from the automobile industry, machine design, and assembly automation to warehousing

Extender, Repeaters
and conveyor systems, packaging machines, the printing and paper industries, the textile industry, and safety sys-

Power Supplies,
tems.
Various versions of the photoelectric sensors with AS-Interface interface are available. These include rectangular
housings with terminal box or M12 connectors, and also VariKont M housings.
One particular feature is the support of the new specification 2.1 of the bus protocol. For the first time, there is a
line of photoelectric sensors for this extended standard. One of the most important changes is the doubling of the

Safety at work
number of AS-Interface slaves which one master can control, from 31 to 62, which significantly increases the at-
traction of the AS-Interface.

Address assignments for the four slaves

The AS-Interface master accesses all slaves one after the other within an AS-Interface cycle in order to transfer output data to
slave A or to read in input data from the slaves. The singleturn absolute encoder uses only four AS-Interface chips to transfer
the position data that are 13 bits wide, i. e. four slave addresses are assigned.
Photoelectric
sensors

Since these four slaves are queried one after the other, the data may originate from any one of four different sampling times. To
minimise the influence of this effect, sequential addresses (n, n+1, n+2 and n+3) should be assigned to slaves A, B, C and D.
Furthermore, it should be noted that slave A is responsible for controlling the functions of the absolute encoder. If the order of
Issue date 2004-11-19 - Catalogue AS-Interface 2004/2005

the slaves is changed (D = n, C = n+1, B = n+2, A = n+3), the output word, which is supposed to be transmitted by the function
control module of the absolute encoder, will not be transmitted until slaves D, C and B have been read in.

A memory command would thus only take effect for slave A. The command would not take effect for slaves that were already

Temporary storage and transfer with flag bits
If individual telegrams of the four slaves to the AS-Interface master suffer interference, it may happen in spite of temporary stor-
age in the rotary encoder that the data that are transferred to the control module do not all originate from the same position data
set.

Extender, Repeaters
Transferring one flag bit for each slave makes it possible for the control module to check which position data set an individual

Power Supplies,
data set belongs to by comparing the four flag bits. Data bit D2 is used for this purpose.
Example:
Slave A Position data
Cycle Data bit D2 Slave A Slave B Slave C Slave D
1 0 XXX0 XXX0 XXX0 XXX0
2 1 XXX1 XXX1 XXX1 XXX1

Safety at work
3 0 XXX0 XXX0 XXX0 XXX0
4 1 XXX1 XXX1 XXX1 XXX1
etc.
Bit D2 is influenced by the control module. Bit 4 of the input data corresponds to the value of this bit for each slave.
D2 is set to 0 in cycle 1. If the value of bit 4 of a slave were "1", that value would be derived from another cycle. This is a simple
way to recognise data consistency.

Control cabinet
I/O Modules
Transferring the flag bits, however, reduces the usable position data from 13 bits to 12. Masking out the fourth bit of each slave
increases slightly the effort of putting together the position data set in the control module.

In order to meet the real-time demands of many applications, a multi-slave solution
using the BVM58 AS-Interface rotary encoders was created. The position value of
16 Bits in length is transferred within a single cycle via the 4 integrated AS-Interface
chips to the master and made available to the PLC.
This multiturn absolute encoder is available either in clamping flange design with a
shaft 10 mm in diameter x 20 mm or in servo flange design with a shaft 6 mm in

AS-Interface hand-held programming unit

Power Supplies,
The AS-Interface System is very simple to commission. Address configura-
tion and first commissioning tests are performed using the VBP-HH1 AS-In-
terface hand-held. The slaves can be directly connected over the plug inter-
face, over a programming cable, or over an M12 connector cable. The one-
handed operation of the hand-held makes the address configuration of in-

dividual modules or of an entire network particularly easy. AS-Interface out-
puts can also be directly controlled from the hand-held for testing purposes.
The power supply of the hand-held is from batteries or using the included
power pack.

I/O Modules
In most AS-Interface installations, profiled flat cable is used. Flat cable
comes with a rubber sheathing and in an oil-resistant TPE version, in yellow
or black. If you are implementing intrinsically safe applications over AS-In-
terface, you can also select our flat cable labeled in red with "+++SAFE-

Description

Other modules
The PROFIBUS master simulator is a simple universal machine tool
for data exchange with PROFIBUS slaves of almost all manufacturers
via PROFIBUS DP. The PROFIBUS master simulator can exchange
data with many PROFIBUS slaves even without GSD file, type file and
without PROFIBUS master. The PROFIBUS slaves with default I/O

Inductive sensors
width can be put into operation without additional input or additional
data files. Input data can be read and output data can be written. In
addition, the PROFIBUS DP master simulator allows the use of GSD
files as well as the input of special configurations to start data
exchange with PROFIBUS slaves. Address configuration of PROFI-
BUS slaves - especially IP 67 modules without address switch - is also
possible.
The follow-on PROFIBUS master simulator allows the user to search a

complete PROFIBUS and to find all connected participants. In this

case however, the VAZ-PB-SIM must be plugged directly on a PROFI-
BUS slave. In addition the data, in particular the diagnostic function, is
Issue date 2004-11-19 - Catalogue AS-Interface 2004/2005

meanwhile displayed not only in hexadecimal and binary format but

also in ASCII format. Output data can be transmitted consistently.
The PROFIBUS master simulator is supplied with the VAZ-PB-SIM,
Rotary encoders

which is an ideal interface converter between the RS 232 interface of the PC and the PROFIBUS. This UART has a highly compact design and
does not require an additional external voltage supply. Therefore, it is ideal for mobile use with a laptop or a notebook. The VAZ-PB-SIM is sim-
ply plugged on, between the PROFIBUS and the RS 232 connection cable.
In addition to the actual monitor and configuration program, DLL drivers for Windows as well as simple sample programs in C are now also
included in the delivery package enabling you to adapt your own applications to PROFIBUS-UART. However, the VAZ-PB-SIM is only a test
equipment or a start-up aid for PROFIBUS slaves and is therefore not suitable for controlling automation processes.

Description

Other modules
The interface converter VAZ-R4-R2 is the ideal interface converter between the RS 232C interface of the PC and the RS 485 interface of the
AS-Interface Gateway.
The converter requires no additional external power supply. For this reason, it is highly suitable for mobile use on a laptop computer or note-
book.
The RS 232C/RS 485 converter is simply plugged between the AS-Interface Gateway and the RS 232 connection cable. Only one device with

Inductive sensors
an RS 485 interface can be connected up to the interface converter.
The RS 232C/RS 485 converter can be used on various operating systems. By means of the AS-i Control Tools for Windows an AS-Interface
Master with an RS 485 interface can be operated as well as an AS-Interface Master with an RS 232 interface. The RS 232C/RS 485 converter
supports all transmission rates up to 57600 Bit/s.

AS-Interface - Training Kit

11 AS-Interface Training Kit

The AS-Interface training kit imparts the basics of topics relevant to the
bus system, such as the master/slave principle, addressing topics, behavior
of the system with failing nodes, and so on. Of course, more in-depth AS-
Interface knowledge is also included.

The core of the training kit is an AS-Interface master with enhanced control
and PLC functionality (max. 16 kB command memory, with 8 kB registers,
1024 timers, and 1024 counters), with which control programs can be proc-
essed over the AS-Intervace as a stand-alone.
Along with the AS-Interface training kit, the trainee has a set of equipment
available with which the functionality and possibilities of the AS-Interface
can be explored. The complete training kit includes a task collection com-
prising some 50 tasks, which increase in difficulty as the user progresses.
It provides trainees with a step-by-step introduction to AS-Interface. For fur-
ther support of the training, about 45 overhead slides are included, covering
a range of topics. The commissioning software, along with the slides in
PowerPoint® format on CD, are included in the training kit.

The AS-Interface training kit has been designed to be compatible with the
SENSORIK training package. This means that either the kit or the bread-
board can be used as work area. The sensors from the SENSORIK training
package are compatible with the 2EA module.
AS-Interface training kit with The training kit can be extended on request with gateways for connection
PROFIBUS DP gateway and to higher-level systems. This provides an opportunity to drive the AS-In-
PROFIBUS simulator terface and the SENSORIK training kits directly from a bus system. Gate-
ways for the PROFIBUS DP, InterBus, CANopen, DeviceNet, Modbus, and
other bus systems are available on request. Included in the training kit is a
professional commissioning software package including a converter. Using
